Description
Just a small drawing again. There's a small project, far off,for which I do some creatures here and there
and I've yet got so much to learn, but it's a lot of fun
Criticism would be, as always, very welcome
have a great day!

A very intriguing fantasy creation. Set the imagination free. Good job.

I definitely see the resemblance
with a less cartoony probably the most

Looks like a raccoon/fox hybrid, but that's not a criticism.

Indeed, I can see both of them in this one
and both also came to my mind, when I was done,
oddly the legs don't stand out as much as I thought

Since you said criticisms are welcome, I've been staring at this in an attempt to find something that could be improved; all I came up with is that raccoons tend to be a bit fluffier around their rump and back legs, rather than muscular like they are in your image (which isn't a very good criticism, as art is objective). Marvelous work on the cross-hatching! The tail especially comes to life due to the amazing work done there!

Thanks a lot,
Yeah, the rump lacks a bit of fluffy volume,
the legs where supposed to go in a kangaroo direction,
but that didn't quite work out,
they just look bald this way^^
Thank you very much for the feedback and your kindness,
hopefully I'll do better next time

You're work is already amazing -- I can't see it doing anything but improving from here! You art is very impressive!

Such amazing line art, it looks awesome!
Really reminds me of the traditional ink illustrations in really old books, I really like the aesthetic : )
I think you really captured shapes and textures very well too.

Thank you very much!
Possibly this will be part of a set of illustrations for a book sometime,
but since the story belonging to the world isn't written yet and I'm not the one writing it
it might take a bit^^

SleepyVoodle In reply to Cuculum [2018-05-26 10:58:04 +0000 UTC]
haha, oh I see.
Well I hope that is a project that happens one day in the future!
Your illustrations would be a beautiful addition to any story : )

Time will tell
I did some illustrations for poetry and well, a bit of comics,
but classical story illustration is a first for me.
Thank you very much for your kindness,
it made me smile

That sounds fun~
Getting involved in some art projects would be awesome, I'm not very confident to do it tho
You have a great week! I'm sure I'll be back in your gallery again soon ;D
Time for me to do my last uni assignment!

Sorry for the late response, I got tangled in uni assignments myself
for the last week...
As for art projects. I personally think it is always worth trying,
even if one isn't satisfied with the outcome (I'm thinking of my first comic project^^)
it's still a nice thing to have a bigger project, which can branch and grow
and needs focus and endurance as well.
Often the progress achieved by such a project, even if it's only done for oneself,
is quite a different one than individual pieces.
So I can only encourage you to try it one day!

Well well, look at this for a late response though!
So, I ended up leaving the course I was doing, it really didn't live up to my expectations, which is a shame, but I feel better now.
I'm doing some volunteer work, looking for a part-time job, and trying to draw more, but somehow I've been so busy since I left uni @_@
I think finding an art project to get involved in would be a great idea right now, since I have some extra time.
I've got no idea how to find such a thing, but I'll look around!

Cuculum In reply to SleepyVoodle [2018-08-27 00:28:06 +0000 UTC]
If I may ask, what was the course about?
As for art projects, I don't even think they have to be big
to be of a high learning value.
Also, even though I'm not sure if that's of any interest for you
but we're looking for a colorist for our webcomic project,
yet the style has to fit and I'm not the only one deciding,
but if you'd be by any chance intrigued you could samplecolor one page.
Anyways, I'm sure you'll find something soon!

Oh, I like this one a lot It's cute and frightening at the same time. I don't know why, but I especially like the tail.

Cuculum In reply to AdrStefanska [2018-05-26 10:00:08 +0000 UTC]
Frightening? I seem to do something wrong^^
Well, to be fair, it is a hunting creature (I thought there was a
word for them, but I can't find it anywhere)
Probably it's way smaller than a marten.
Yet a hissing marten isn't fun either...
thanks a lot, anyways

Well, frightening because of the claws and the pray in them

I've got a new one of these finished a few moments ago,
no prey this time, yet still I not seem to manage getting it completely cute^^
Even though that probably depends on the observer

I finally got to upload it last night,
yet it's definitely less cute than this one, no doubt about that

AdrStefanska In reply to Cuculum [2018-06-16 10:42:10 +0000 UTC]
Yup, definitely not cute, it's a bit too much for my liking, but it's about what you want to achieve ^^

Cuculum In reply to AdrStefanska [2018-07-01 23:11:44 +0000 UTC]
Too much of what? If you don't mind saying,
too much uncuteness perhaps, but maybe the problem is
that most of the time I have no idea what I want to achieve^^
